Summer Pet Safety We all love spending these beautiful summer days outdoors with our furry companions, but here are a few tips to ensure your pets are prepared during the summer heat! 📌Keep pets cool • Keep pets indoors as much as possible. • Use a hose or let your pet swim in a kiddie pool, lake or stream to cool off. 📌Cool water • Make sure your pet has access to cool, clean water. • Check the water bowl frequently throughout the day as pets will drink more during high temperatures. 📌Limit or restrict exercise • Exercise of any kind should be cut back and limited to the cooler, early morning or later evening hours. • Avoid midday heat. 📌Limit sun exposure • Dogs and cats can get sunburned just like people, especially their ears and noses. 📌Avoid burned pads on your pet’s feet • Avoid walking your dog on hot surfaces, such as pavement, asphalt, or metal. • Walk your pet in the grass. 📌Signs of burned pads: • limping or refusing to walk • licking or chewing at the feet • pads are darker in color • part of the pad is missing 📌If you notice a problem, flush the pad and foot with cool water or a cool compress; get the pet to a grassy area, or if possible carry him. 📌Contact your veterinarian to examine your pet for signs of deeper burns, blisters and possibly infection. 📌NEVER leave pets in a parked car! Each year pets die from extreme heat after being left in parked vehicles. Cars can heat up to dangerous temperatures very quickly – even within minutes. 🐾Pets are family too!
